Which means you may often be in a situation where you want the effects, but don't actually need the healing. Or using it too often might leave you low on surges, etc.  I'd say if you think it will make a cool character, feel free to invest in the two feats and the item - I don't think you'll be too overpowered, but it will lead to regular moments of being awesome. You just will need to time it carefully - since it gives you defense, offense and healing, you may often find yourself in situations where you only need two of those things. You need to either wait for the right moments, or be willing to use it even when you won't be able to take advantage of the full benefits.</blockquote>
